So She-Hulk-1 and She-Hulk-2 ripped their door out of the wall this past month...not just off the hinges, but out of the wall. We're not sure exactly how they managed it because we had a metal door stop on the top hinge and a rubber stopper underneath the bottom of it and their room is carpeted. Today, they managed to pull the oven door off of their very sturdy, new wooden kitchen that my parents bought them. Thankfully we have it anchored to the wall because whatever they did, the kitchen door is irreparable.
They are both becoming very sassy little girls, they are alphas just like momma and dad. They know what they want, say what they mean, and have little to no patience. They are finally at the age where they stick up for each other and enjoy playing with each other most of the time. I never had a sister, so to me this is the best thing to be able to witness as their mama. I am so glad that, at least for now, they are each other's best friends (behind being mommy's best friend according to my four year old).
Right now, sitting at the table with me, Lili is singing "Twinka twinka 'tar" and "Row Row Row (Your Boat)" and Maire is teaching her The Wheels on the Bus, ABC's, and playing peek-a-boo and singing Daniel Tiger songs.
Besides that, they are so smart and so unique.
Maire's favorite tv show right now bounces around but she likes most of the educational stuff with some Courage the Cowardly Dog or Winx Club thrown in. Her favorite color is red and her favorite number is 4, and if you ask her she'll insist that they should be your favorites too. She loves to wear pink because it's "almost red" and she plays games on her tablet well above her age group (like games meant for 7-11 year olds) and she absolutely loves to read books. Another huge thing for her is she actually makes up her own stories to go with the pictures or tries to read the story from memory. She reads every single night before bed. She loves talking about Halloween and witches and how she's a fairy witch. She also now introduces herself as Mimi, Princess Mairead Rose. Full of sass!
Lili also really loves to read and books. Her favorite shows right now are Super Why, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, and her favorite of favorites is "Yummy and Yucky", better known as Tommy and Chuckie from Rugrats. Sometimes she says their names, and sometimes she calls them Yummy and Yuckie. For just turning two, she's been really uninterested in learning her colors even though she loves to color (LOVES) but she has recently identified orange, yellow, and pink on her own (and she's known blue for a while). She loves bathtime, boats, balls, and "bays" (babies) although she isn't interested in hearing about the new baby coming yet.
These girls are huge too. Just last month we went to the ER because we all had bronchitis and it wouldn't go away on its own with homeopathic help, so we got some z-packs. Turns out, M tested positive for the flu so we probably all started out with the flu and didn't even know it except we were all suffering the lingering coughs and post-nasal drips (mine being the worst of us all). Lili and Maire's were so slight, even the ER originally thought it was just viral. But we did weigh and measure them. Maire is 42" tall, and weighed 40lbs. Lili is 36" tall and weighed 25 lbs. That puts M at about 62nd percentile in weight, and 50th in height. It also puts Lili in the 86th percentile for height and 54th in weight.
As far as Rainbow coming, J and I were going to throw a baby sprinkle because we've had a lot of people asking about our baby shower or if they can get the baby something and with no one down here to really throw us one, I figured I'd just have a little party for those who asked. Turns out my best friend N was planning a surprise one, so that blew away the surprise. But for me, that's okay, I don't need it to be a surprise for it to be special! Also, it helps because I hate not having even a little control over things.
My glucose test is Monday and I can't help but wonder if the next phase of pregnancy is going to drag or not. It already feels like I've been pregnant forever. I'm trying to enjoy every moment I can and I do treasure every kick and bounce, but I'm just ready to meet Rainbow already. I should be clear for homebirth if I pass my glucose and nothing else comes up! I can't wait for that too, although I'm nervous because I know what to expect this time. I know I could do it again, but I feel like if my labor is much longer than last time, I'm going to have a really hard time. Lili's labor was really short but really intense. I went from a 2 at 5:30 to an 8 at 8:15 to birth by fetal ejection reflex at 8:45 exactly. J missed most of the labor because we thought we had time and he had to keep running to the store for last minute items. I also wanted a photographer this time around but it just doesn't seem like we're going to be able to squeeze that in either. I'm kind of disappointed about that. Okay, maybe majorly. But I will get over it!
I have to start hypnobabies again soon, but darn it, with all this sass going on when will I have the time?! Hahahaha!
